Experience Island Blues & Roots
Music is only part of the story.
From riverside sunsets and campfire conversations to unforgettable performances and spontaneous moments, this is what Island Blues & Roots is all about.
A Weekend By The River
Set on beautiful Rawdon Island near Port Macquarie, Island Blues & Roots brings together great music, good people and a relaxed atmosphere that's becoming increasingly hard to find.
Take a look through some of the moments that have made previous festivals so memorable.
Sometimes photos don't tell the whole story.
See It For Yourself
The weekend begins with a relaxed afternoon on the river before the music ramps up for a full evening of live blues, roots and rock.
Festival house band, The Adam Ruthless Band, takes the stage for a night of powerful performances, extended jams and the kind of musical chemistry that only comes from musicians who genuinely love what they do.
